It's crazy how it isn't more obvious, given history.

You can't just defecate on the majority of your population and think everything will be ok.

I agree with the mentality of working hard to prosper but that's irrelevant if you are screwing young adults left and right on EVERYTHING.

So a 2BR apartment with a roommate is $1100.  Figure it out.  Or find yourself a dependable girlfriend with a job and get the 1BR for $900 each.

@BigBurkeyBoy
Because absolute IDIOTS keep voting for Democrats.    The more expensive things get, the more they turn to nanny government to fix it.

Nanny government is the Problem, not the solution.

Do you dispute anything I just said?

Please respond, because I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to explain further why only Complete Idiots would vote Democrat.

Hell I'd take it a step further... find a cheap 3 or 4 bedroom house and split the costs even farther.  That should more money for saving for a house (or for an IRA, etc.).

Yeah, dealing with roommates can suck. But in your early 20s.... that's life.

Someone in another thread accused Chisum of being a childless boomer who is caustically indifferent to the suffering of younger Americans, which is something he took offense to.  However, his post seems to typify this perceived sentiment, which is why I'm wondering if it's intended to be satirical.

You have point there. When the stimmies were flowing like water, our company was almost vacant of anyone in the lower age brackets. All that lined up to get the experimental DNA modification injections got fully paid two week vacations. Anyone who showed a fever or just said they were exposed or were contact traced at work or just said they felt bad, got another two weeks of Uncle Sugar Stimmie money. I'm not saying it was all youngers, it wasn't,  but the vast majority were.

I remember then thinking about the future belly aching over the $5 loaves of bread to come once the inflation shockwaves kicked in. TNSTAAFL.

This accelerated what our betters have long planned for the country. Inflation cycles, without proper wage adjusments in the "free" market. Also flooding the country with foreigners who will break their necks to get here to replace the native youth in the work force. We will own nothing and be happy. Rent payments for those shitty apartments directed to Blackrock.

In all fairness, describing a decent life is all opinion and little in fact. What some city slicker living on the dole, calls a decent life is far removed from someone who grows his own food and raises his meat in the country. There is a far greater sense of satisfaction and self-worth for the country folk than for the entitlement-focused beggar. Having lived in both places there are two distinct cultures that have very little in common anymore. The beggars will always be beggars unless they see the error of their ways.

"Can somebody explain to me in crayon-eating terms why I make over three times the federal minimum wage and I cannot afford to live?" the user allegedly named Nic started to say.

"And I do not want to hear the, 'Pull yourself up from your bootstraps, work 90 hours a week.' That's not the goal, guys," he continued ranting. "A one-bedroom apartment, $1,800. Two-bedroom apartment, $2,200. Who the f*** can afford that? It is embarrassing to come out and say that it is a struggle to survive right now. But I know so many people are struggling."

The current federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour.

Meanwhile, consumer price index data released by the Labor Department on Wednesday showed inflation accelerated in March for the third straight month, keeping prices painfully high for millions of Americans and likely delaying any interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.

Other parts of the report also pointed to stubborn price pressures within the economy. Core prices, which exclude the more volatile measurements of food and energy, climbed 0.4%, as they did in January and February, for an annual gain of 3.8%. Those figures are also higher than estimates.

Housing and gasoline costs were the biggest drivers of inflation last month, accounting for more than half of the total monthly increase.

In a more recent TikTok that was posted four days ago, Nic expanded on his initial viral video and said he previously voted in favor of the Republican Party.
